Description

Bitlbee 3.2.1 is out, with a range of improvements over 3.0.5. From upstream:

Version 3.0.6:

  • Updated MSN module to speak MSNP18:
    • Biggest change is that this brings MPOP support (you can sign in to one account from multiple locations).
    • Restored support for *sending* offline messages.
    • Some support for federated (i.e. Yahoo!) contacts. (Only messages might work, you won't see them online.)
  • Twitter:
    • Work-around for stalls that are still happening sometimes.
    • Added "favourite" command.
    • "show_ids" enabled by default.
  • Handle see-other-host Jabber messages which should fix support for MSN-XMPP.
  • Misc. fixes and improvements.

Version 3.2:

  • By far the most important change, a thorough update to the Twitter module:
    • Now using Twitter API 1.1,
    • which means it's now using JSON instead of XML,
    • which means access to the streaming API (Twitter only, other Twitter API services don't seem to have it). No more 60-second polls, #twitter looks even more like real IRC now!
    • Also, the streaming API means nice things like receiving DMs.
    • show_ids, already enabled by default for a while, now uses hexa-decimal numbers, which means a 256-entry backlog instead of just 100.
    • Added a mode=strict setting which requires everything to be a command. The "post" command should then be used to post a Tweet.
  • Jabber module bugfix that fixes connection issues with at least Google Talk but reportedly some other servers (OpenFire?) as well.
  • SSL modules improved a little bit. GnuTLS module now supports SNI and session caching. Shouldn't change much, but hopefully reduces latency and bandwidth usage a little bit.
  • A bunch of other fixes/improvements here and there.

Version 3.2.1:

  • Most important change: http_client updated to use HTTP/1.1, now required by Twitter.
  • fill_by setting can now be used to fill a channel contacts *not* in a certain group/on a certain account/etc. See "help set fill_by"
  • Added utf8_nicks setting which lets you use non-ASCII nicknames for your contacts. Might not work with all IRC clients, use at your own risk!
  • Lots of bugfixes.
